About
Shiso (Perilla) smells bright and green, combining basil‑like sweetness with minty‑camphor freshness, a lemony citrus lift and a faint anisey/earthy savory note—cool, slightly spicy and herbaceous rather than floral. It evokes a windswept Japanese herb garden or a crisp, aromatic tonic. In perfumery shiso is used as a lively top-to-heart green accent to impart a clean, cooling herbal twist, to cut sweetness in gourmands, and to add complexity to aquatics, fougères and woody accords; it commonly appears as CO2 extract, absolute or headspace and blends well with citrus, mint, ginger and woods.
